You’re all set! “We’re just trying to take care of our business on the field, we can’t really control (the rankings),” LBSU coach Mauricio Ingrassia said. “All we can control is our performance on the field.” Tuesday’s game was the first for the 49ers since they swept a weekend that included recent Big West Conference powers Cal Poly and UC Santa Barbara. It was also their first game since they were ranked in Soccer America magazine’s top 25 poll, in which they have held the No. 25 spot for two consecutive weeks. Under a blue-gray October sky, in the shadow of the Pyramid, with the steady din of nearby construction providing a soundtrack, the Long Beach State women’s soccer team did what a team riding a recent high is supposed to do to one that came in on an 11-game losing skid. The 49ers beat Idaho, 2-0, in a nonconference game behind two goals from Kim Silos at George Allen Field. In the process, LBSU (11-3-1) set a new program mark for season shutouts with eight, and continued to add to marks already established with an 11th overall win and eighth home victory of the season. AD Quality Auto 360p 720p 1080p Top articles1/5READ MOREWalnut’s Malik Khouzam voted Southern California Boys Athlete of the Week Yet, any hangover from the layoff was only apparent for parts of the first half Tuesday, and Silos’ first goal came in the 32nd minute off assist from fellow freshmen Sahar Haghdan and Hayley Bolt. “The first 15-20 minutes of the half was us just trying to settle down, but finally we started getting our rhythm back,” Silos said. “It was good to have this game before another conference game, just to kind of settle down and get back to how we play.” Silos struck again in the 56th minute after taking Hilary Goldberg’s clearing pass, and beat Idaho goalie Lindsay Smith for a 2-0 49er advantage. Throughout the game, Ingrassia went to his bench, with 22 49ers seeing playing time in what was the team’s fourth win against a Western Athletic Conference program this season, with San Jose State, Hawaii and Fresno State already having fallen at George Allen Field. After hosting the Vandals (2-14-0), a former Big West member, the 49ers return to action with another nonconference home game Friday. UC Davis, which will join the Big West for the 2007-08 season, comes to town before LBSU returns to conference play next Sunday at UC Irvine. “We take every game just as seriously, because today if we would have lost, that would have said a lot,” said Goldberg, who noted that the 49ers are two shutouts away from their preseason goal of 10. “It’s all a preparation for finishing out league.” read more

Project Playground strives to foster capable individuals through running life orientation programmes in a safe and nurturing environment.(Image: Project Playground)Brand South Africa attended a fundraising event in October 2017 hosted by the Embassy of Sweden in support of Project Playground.Project Playground is a Swedish-South African non-profit organisation founded in 2010 by Princess Sofia of Sweden and Frida Vesterberg. Their mission was to give youngsters between the ages of four and 18 better opportunities in life through recreational and educational activities.The project currently helps about 750 youngsters in the Western Cape townships of Langa and Gugulethu.Attending the fundraiser, Brand South Africa CEO, Dr Kingsley Makhubela spoke of the long-standing relations between Sweden and South Africa. “Swedish-South Africa links go as far back as the 1960s when a countrywide Swedish anti-apartheid movement was founded in support of the struggle for liberation.”In true Play Your Part spirit, Sweden contributed a great deal to bringing about positive change in South Africa, and the relations between Sweden and South Africa have continued beyond the struggle for liberation. They now include partnerships that address other socio-economic and political challenges – children’s rights being one of them.Project Playground strives to champion children’s rights through various life orientation programmes. The project provides a safe environment where every child grows up with a belief in the future and the desire to positively improve their own life. It is hoped that by making available good role models for the children, Project Playground can nurture capable and assured individuals.Project Playground is a sanctuary away from the insecurity that characterises many of the children’s lives. Life orientation is achieved by means of team sports, dance, music, art, and drama, among other activities.The 50 staff members are highly dedicated to the project’s vision and mission. Through regular staff development programmes the team is able to gain knowledge in their specific areas of specialisation in the organisation. This means that the children’s interactions with their mentors is effective because they have a comprehensive view of the child’s environment and represent a continuous and secure contact throughout the child’s upbringing.Project Playground is a wonderful demonstration of how individuals and collectives can come together and play their part for the greater good of their society.Visit the Project Playground website to find out more about how this organisation is playing its part and how you can get involved in helping children in South Africa reach their potential.Would you like to use this article in your publication or on your website?
